Lost about an hour last night after I learned that using showracemenu strips your PC of his or her racial ability. Loaded earlier save (that I'm very thankful that I had) and got it back.

Tried something a little different this time around and now I'm concerned that I'll never be able to NOT do it again. I'm doing mix and match armor, so I'm not getting any of the "extra" armor perks (bonuses for wearing all one type or matching sets) and I'm mostly dual wielding. Earlier playthroughs were sword-and-board, so I got very used to "shield bash, power attack". Can't block with dual wield which made me real nervous.

Surprisingly, stuff dies way too quickly for me to worry about it. Re: dragons, I just use Become Ethereal until they land and then spam power attacks using skyforge axe/skyforge sword until it dies (<30 seconds later). I still break out the shield on occasion for bosses in heavy armor, but for the most part my Nord is the Elder Scrolls equivalent of a blender.
